Chipangali Constituency, Zambia – In a move that has been hailed as a major break-through in the country’s education sector, the introduction of free education has transformed the lives of thousands of students in Chipangali constituency. Chipangali Constituency has undergone significant transformations in its education sector, thanks to the tireless efforts of Andrew Z Lubusha.
Lubusha, the Chipangali lawmaker, has been instrumental in championing this initiative, ensuring inclusivity and equity, particularly for the girl-child, whose enrollment numbers have notably increased.
Historically, girls faced significant challenges in accessing education, but Lubusha’s efforts have bridged this gap, ensuring that both boys and girls benefit equally.
“It’s essential that we ensure not only the boy-child benefits but the girl-child too,” Lubusha emphasized. “As a father, and having daughters myself, I understand the importance of providing equal opportunities for all children to succeed.”
Since his election as Member of Parliament for Chipangali Constituency, Lubusha has worked tirelessly to improve infrastructure, creating a conducive learning environment for students.
Lubusha emphasized the significance of the free education initiative, calling it a game-changer. He highlighted its successful implementation in previously neglected areas, which has transformed the lives of thousands of students by providing them with access to quality education.
“This initiative has been instrumental in promoting education and reducing the financial burden on parents and guardians,” he emphasized. “We are grateful to President Hakainde Hichilema, whose leadership and commitment to education have been a driving force behind this initiative.”
And with the increments in the Constituency Development Fund (CDF), CDF has played a crucial role in financing the construction of new classroom blocks, providing students with a conducive learning environment. This development has not only improved the quality of education but also increased access to education for thousands of students.
In addition to classroom infrastructure, working hand in hand with Chipangali lawmaker, the Ministry of Water Development Sanitation, numerous schools have benefited from the construction of modern ablution blocks and water reticulation systems. This visionary initiative, has dramatically improved sanitation and hygiene standards in schools, creating a healthier and more conducive learning environment for students.
Furthermore, Lubusha who is not showing any signs of stopping in making sure no one is left behind, and no work is left undone, has made significant strides in ensuring that no pupil sits on the floor. Over 11,000 desks have been procured, with 5,000 desks delivered last year and an additional 6,000 desks planned for procurement. This development is a testament to Lubusha’s commitment to providing quality education and improving the overall learning experience for students.
Lubusha acknowledged President Hakainde Hichilema’s commitment to free education as a testament to the President’s dedication to the well-being of all Zambians,” Lubusha remarks. “I have seen firsthand the positive impact of this initiative, and I will continue to support the President’s efforts to ensure that every child has access to quality education. This has not only improved the learning environment but also increased access to quality education for thousands of students. And as promised, to the wonderful people of Chikoka for their unwavering support and love, we will construct a 1×3 classroom block under CDF 2025, a testament to our commitment to action. We remain committed to advocating for more development in our area, honoring the legacy of the late Gray Zulu, a true freedom fighter who dedicated his life to building a democratic society.”
“And as area Member of Parliament, I am proud to say that over 5,000 students in Chipangali constituency have benefited from the free education initiative,” Lubusha notes. “The benefits of free education are evident in the constituency. Students who would have otherwise been forced to drop out of school due to financial constraints are now able to access quality education, thanks to the government’s initiative. This is a clear indication that the government’s efforts are yielding positive results.”
Lubusha’s leadership has been instrumental in driving these developments, demonstrating his dedication to improving education infrastructure and providing opportunities for students in Chipangali Constituency. Under his visionary leadership, the constituency has witnessed significant improvements in the education sector, with the introduction of free education being the crowning jewel.
